AM60Srvr showing error

[Francisco Pereira]

Hi, I have a FC60, but when i execute the command:
amdsp -i
I receive the follow message:

The AM60Srvr did not respond. It may not be running or it may still be
in the process of initializing.

But i execute the ps -ef |grep AM60Srvr and the process are running. Somebody know what can i do to solve this problem ?

Thank you.

Hi Francisco

My memory recalls (going back 3-4 years) that the amdsp -i command has been replaced with arraydsp

Fransico;

let me know below the commands;

1- amdsp -R

2-amdsp -i

3- amlog

Could you go with these steps;

Running Information Tool in Menu Mode
1. At the system prompt:
â Type mstm
â Select Ok
2. To select the desired disk array:
â Scroll down using the arrow key, select the A5277A Array
â Press .
3. To run the Information Tool and display the Information log:
â From the Menubar, select Tools
â Select Information
â Select Run. The Information Tool builds and displays the Information log.
â Select Done when done viewing the log
4. To view the Activity log:
â From the Menubar, select Tools
â Select Information
â Select Activity Log
â Select Done when done viewing the log

you have to see something in log!!!

hi,

The fc60's have always had trouble

has the array been working? or newly connected?
if it was working you should have messages in the logs about connection loss.

do a full #ioscan to see if the array is picked up. You will get that error if its not been seen.

if it is then re-create the device files
#insf -e

then try your amdsp -i again.

failing that its worth a reboot to try and pick it up.
if its newly connected then you need to connect the sc10's up and power them up first for 5 mins and then power up the fc60 and leave for 5 mins to scan the arrays. then do your ioscan or reboot the server

I still reckon he needs to be using arraydsp

[Francisco Pereira]

When i try to execute amdsp -i or amdsp -R,
is showed this message:
The AM60Srvr did not respond. It may not be running or it may still be
in the process of initializing.

When execute ioscan -fnCdisk the command don't give return.

when i execute amlog:
amlog -s 0701000005

I forgot to say, but i access the array normaly.

[Andrew Rutter · Accepted solution]

hi,

I would try a full system ioscan without the class option

#ioscan

that way you should see the controller(s) depending if its a dual controller fc60

if you dont see the controllers then stop and start the armgr/am60srvr deamons manually.

without the controllers in ioscan then the commands wont run.

then check cable connections and even change the MIB's around(the small 9pin to fc adapter on the fc60). I had a faulty MIB on one of ours and that caused it not to be detected

you are right as far as I know to use the amdsp commands
amdsp for am60srvr fc60/va's type arrays
arraydsp for hparray for m12h type arrays

Do what I did, ditch the FC60, buy a nice big set of fast SCSI cards, and hook them up directly to the SC10s. FC60's are available used for, like $3 (kidding, but just barely).
